The food is dope, city is amazing, the people are very friendly and the ladies are lookin real nice! So I’m gonna share with yall a little bit of what’s been goin’ down the past 4 days in “The land of the rising sun“.

12 hour plane ride, that was tough! Couldn’t wait to hop up off that plane.

First stop, a quick run through of the arena, Kobe World Kinen Hall.

View from our hotel room, Crown Plaza Kobe. This city is DOPE!!

Dinner on our first night in Japan. We ate at a small old school restaurant in the city where we had the traditional “Japanese” meal, sitting on the ground. Gangsta shit right? The food was awesome though!

Not your average toilet. Was not the business, definately not what i’m used to! lol

Bomb ass lunch, sashimi bowl over rice.

The crowd outside, anxiously waiting to get into the building for the concert.

I got my backstage pass, ready for the show!

SHOWTIME!!!

Here’s the clip…

let’s start with the Pepsi ALMA Awards afterparty in the Hollywood Hills at some mansion. The food was great, the view was amazing as you can see and the best part was I got to drink all the Pepsi I want with liquor of course. If you know me I love my soda!

After that I took off to Las Vegas for the MAGIC/Project show. Let me say that was a fun and very productive trip in terms of work of course. I think I drunk myself silly, but had one of the best nights when I went to the DJ Hero/Guitar Hero event at the Hard Rock. How often does one get to Z-Trip spin then on stage you get the dark prince himself Ozzy Osbourne with  Dave Navarro on guitar, Joey Jordison on Drums, and somebody else on bass whom I forget? Plus all the food and liquor I can consumed. Then on the last night  having “the best idea ever” at  XS nightclub in the Encore. This was two thumbs up for sure.

Sometime after that I went to the HBO Emmy Party. It was a great time to see some of my favorite characters from Entourage, True Blood, and Eastbound & Down. It was great hanging with the cast of the Wire as well. Not to mention the food was excellent since it was catered by Wolfgang Puck and of course there was open bar for massive liquor consumption. Great Times!  I even saw emmanuell Chriqui whom plays Sloan on Entourage. She was looking hot!

Some time after this I went to the Vanity Fair/Porsche event in which they were celebrating the release of the new 4 door sport coupe Panamera and the history of Porsche. Great exhibit and let me say this, I’m not a fan of the back of the car, but everything else about it looks incredible.  Check out the front and interior. Gorgeous car! The food was alright because I ended up having to eat Del Taco after, but of course the liquor consumption was maximized by drinking a $60 bottle of champagne which made up for the food.

This one is the “More Than A Game’ movie/soundtrack release party.  There was a lot of antics by me this eventin, but I’ll save those stories for my grandchildern so they’ll think I’m way cooler than I really am when the time comes. The pic above has our very own Jerm Beats and Jonstreet with Marselle Washington from Streamline. Again I took advantage of the unlimited amounts of liquor. The food for some reason I didn’t try probably since I ate before I got there unfortunately, so I have no comment on that.

Went to the APEX Awards Gala in Downtown Los Angeles to honor some of my fellow Asians. The highlight of the evening was not the food or the liquor (which usually is for me) but that Euna Lee and Laura Ling were honored that evening. Definitely an inspiring story from two strong individuals that are trying to make a difference in this world. Sorry if the picture came out so small of them. I don’t have a zoom function on my iphone camera. Note: Steve Jobs-You need to work on that next!

Then here I am in NY a few days later. I couldn’t resist taking a pic of Juniors and then saying in my best Diddy impression that I wanted a cheesecake or suger cookie or the breast milk of a Cambodian woman(If you watched the Chapelle show you’ll know what I’m talking about). Anyways, I took a few pics but these are the only ones I decided to show. Especially the overly domesticated squirrel who wanted some of my Shake Shack Burger.

After DJ Am passed away the next person to take the torch in my opinion is DJ Vice. Here I am at his birthday party where he just hopped on the tables to do his set. He’s a very talented artist and he always rocks the house wherever he goes. You can catch him all over the world or at his weekly gigs in LA and Vegas.

Had to throw this one in as the homies at Five Four opened their first ever brick and mortar store at Westfield Culver City. I’m in love with their stuff and I’ve know the whole crew for many years so I support heavily. I actually took this pic before I decided to make a last minute trip to Las Vegas for the night (I know, I was just there!). If you happen to go by the store, tell them I sent you! Not sure if you’ll get anything out of it but I like telling people to say that just for the hell of it.

That’s pretty much it in a nutshell. I traveled to a few other places in between these pics too as well but unfortunately I either didnt take pictures or I don’t want to mention it. After all this I’m very happy sitting here on my couch detoxing and resting for my next adventure.Which happens to start real soon!

In this episode of Stereotypes TV we take a road trip up to Lake Tahoe to see The Legendary Earth, Wind and Fire. In MY opinion, the GREATEST BAND EVER!!!! If for some odd reason you don’t know who they are, PLEASE do a little research and enlighten yourself with great music. Not only did we get to watch them in concert, but the homie Damien Smith hooked it up so we can hang out with them backstage!!! Tune in and see history in the making!!! I captured a couple clips of the performance, but I also wanted to enjoy the show and didn’t want to watch the whole show through a camera. Sooo…you’ll get to see a snippet from “In The Stone” and “Reasons”, but my favorite EWF song of all time is still “September“.

Turn that page for the episode and some pics….
